Proflex.........

Also, how much you got to spend?
Do you want modifications to the beam fit comp struts, or just change springs/dampers.

what do you think then Dingy, maybe a set of Ohlins? For road use, I find Koni's and Ahmed springs are more than upto the job

Try and get out in some cars with a couple of different setups, then see what you prefer.

I have had Gaz coilovers, avo coilovers and Ahmed track springs with koni's.

In the end I found the Gaz coilovers on the front and ahmed springs and konis on the back were the best compromise for track and road.
